Momentarily Dead to the World
We would normally get that feeling of wanting to step back, wanting to be momentarily inexistent from the world to be able to get a break from it all. Some would call it crazy, but for people who have been exhausted and readily maximized their times and effort for various instances, the need for long needed breaks is justified.
Hence the feeling of temporarily being dead to the world for some time may be an overstatement but for people who have gone through a lot, people would surely be in need for recharging their bodies in all aspects needed, both physically and mentally.
Such proclamation would be considered as exaggerated but understandable if people would take note of why such would be done. Some just burn themselves out at times and wanting to step out of the limelight and adhere towards maintaining their sanity, the need to be able to cater towards personal demand for relaxation and regeneration is an obvious needed recourse.
